Do you want to chat with a missionary?

Hi I'm Christian

I am Austrian and make movies. Currently I spend my time traveling between Europe and the USA. I am a Mormon.

About Me

Copy and Share

Many of my interests are in the creative arts. Maybe that is why I have become a filmaker. History, music, photography, architecture; all of this flows together in telling stories through film.
My free time has grown increasingly limited in the last few years. Mountain biking, bike riding and hiking help me relax and renew my energy. With three children I enjoy going out on dates often. Often we go to a movie or out to eat.
Education is a wonderful gift of our time. I am very thankful for the opportunity I had to study in the USA and to get a Bachelors and a Masters degree. If I could have it my way, I would go back to school sometime in the future.

I find so much beauty, truth and light in the teachings of Christ as they are taught in my church.
That God is our Heavenly Father who takes a personal interest in our progress.
That we can be led personally by God through spiritual experiences.
That we understand the purpose of this earth life and can view it from an eternal perspective.
And that we have received the gift and invitation from Jesus Christ to return to our heavenly home some day.
The riches and depth of my religion fascinate and inspire me.

How I live my faith

I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the age of 22 with a burning desire to serve God and my fellow men. At the age of 24 I served a voluntary full-time mission in Germany to help bring others closer to the teachings of Christ and to consider the purpose of this earth life.
This special focus on spiritual things was a wonderful experience for me. I learned that daily prayer and study in the scriptures will bring you peace, something that is very difficult to find in our hectic world today.
To this day I find this inner peace when I actively study the spiritual messages of my creator. In addition, I try to illustrate and reflect spirituality in daily life in my movies. This kind of work is often a very deep spiritual experience.

Wanting more from life, Mike Turvey set out hitchhiking with nothing but a hope that something worthwhile was out there. When he passed through Israel, his desire to learn more about Jesus Christ led him to discover what he had been searching for.
